Kiara's POV:

The ride back home last night was fairly silent. I still don't know how to really react to Nadine coming back to the company to work together with Dean again. Perhaps if she would be working on a completely different floor, or at least far away from our offices, I would be able to deal with it better.

But she'll be working in the office right next to Dean's, just like she used to in the past. And to top it off, they will be working very close on this big business deal. Dean seemed remorseful last night, and I know it's selfish to hold my own interests against his business. I just can't help but feel this is going to be hell. Why does she have to reappear right now? It's as if she waited until he moved on. I just hope he really has moved on.

"Honey, could you please at least talk to me?" Dean asks silently during breakfast. It's not that I'm not talking to him. It's just less than usual and no banter.

"What do you want to talk about?" I can't help but roll my eyes and sna

    Kiara's POV:My eyes dart over to Dean to see if he will say anything, but he simply pushes the portion between us. "Want some? They are the best in town?"Are you fucking serious? My eyes dart back and forth between him and the sushi. The sushi I would rather wipe from his table right now."Oh, you can have some of mine too. I only manage half a portion anyway," Nadine offers, with an innocent looking fake amile. But I get the hint about the difference in our figures. I'm curvy, have ass and tits although my waist and belly could be counted as a little too skinny."Nah, thanks. I'm allergic to fish anyway. I'll go and grab myself some unhealthy food from the cantine downstairs. You know something to feed these curves. We can't all be size zero and the perfect models, right?" This time, my voice lets through how pissed I am while I head straight out of his office.Not once did Dean defend me in any kind of way. And even if he's a guy, he must have realized she meant the opposite from

    Dean's POV:I know Kiara's upset. That's why I need to set things a little straight tonight. Take the tension between us, which Nadine has caused. That's why I booked a table for six at my favourite french restaurant in town.I'm lucky my dad knows the owner, as it's mostly totally booked out a couple of weeks ahead. Especially coming with six people. I would have rather had time on my own with Kiara, but I know she wouldn't have put up with it. And she already had planned an evening out with the others anyway. I still can't believe she would have gone out with my friends without me.If the situation wasn't so tense already, I would have probably fully blown for that fact.We have a table at 8 pm, but as I don't want to rush too much, I decide to finish work at 5 pm already. Nadine looks surprised up at me when I tell her I'm finishing work now."You never finish this early," she snaps. And normally, she'd be right. "Well, I have plans for tonight."I see the annoyed look on her face

    Dean's POV:"Damn, if I go in between them, there will be war at work. You know how Nadine is.""Yeah exactly, and because I know her, I know she'll do anything to destroy this between the two of you if you don't put her into her place right now. Kiara doesn't deserve to be treated that way. Honestly, ugly and fat? You let her say that to her?""She didn't say ugly and fat.""Sure, that beast has different ways of saying mean things while trying to act polite. But you were always too blind to these things with her. Get your act together, man. Or I promise you're going to regret it."I wasn't blind, I knew exactly what Nadine was implying this lunch time. But I also know never to add fuel when a fire is already burning. After what seems a whole while, Tyler and I join in in the whole conversation about different cars. We keep it going for a whole while."I could let you drive my Aston Martin to work tomorrow." I offer softly over Kiara's shoulder, hoping to finally get a positive resp

    Kiara's POV:After our night out last night, I do feel a little relieved. Even if it pissed me off, Dean was still defending Nadine, I could also see on his face how he was hoping for me to forgive him. And the way we were craving each other last night again was unbelievable.Looking into his eyes now during breakfast, I feel more at ease than I did yesterday. Dean made me breakfast in bed, and I know he's trying. Nadine can pack up, as long as I have him at my side."So you're even eating unhealthy food because of me? I'm a really bad influence on you, aren't I? Watch out those perfect ripped abs will be jello soon." Teasing him has become one of my favourite hobbies."Not with the amount of workout I'm getting at the moment. I need energy to keep it up," he winks at me as a response. "At the moment, I'm doing more workout with you than in the gym."Well, he probably ain't lying about that, and thinking about how easily he hoists me up in the air is damn hot. I never thought sex coul

    Kiara's POV:As soon as I reach Gina, I tell her I won't be in my office most of the day. There will be two new people starting today in our marketing department and I would like to take the chance to get to know them and the other two and talk about the way I would like us to work together. While I'm actually in charge of all the projects, they do all the small things, like making sure the things I work out get sent to the right places or get printed and so on.This gives me the chance to really take my place as director, and at the same time, I get away from Dean and Nadine for a while as it's three floors down. The team is really great, we're all about the same age. There is one woman and three guys. For a moment, I was worried they would act weird because of me being together with Dean, but they aren't at all.For a short while, I simply get to enjoy my work and forget about the Nadine drama. We talk and work through a lot and set up a decent structure, as until now, the old crea

    Kiara's POV:The last two and a half weeks have been hell of a ride. Nadine is taking every chance she can to hit on me. Dean apparently has been telling her off for doing it, although he has never put her into place in front of me. But I can see and feel how awkward he feels about the whole situation himself and is trying to ease the tension when we're alone.Today we're leaving for a holiday. I don't even know where the hell we are going, as Dean wants to surprise me. He had sent some shopping assistant to buy everything for me which he had implied and had packed all my suitcases. Of course, I wasn't even allowed to have a look at it. The only thing I do know is that it's going to be warm. But that could literally be anywhere. It might be southern France, Italy, Cyprus, Croatia, Africa, Australia, India. There are so many places on my mind, and I don't have a single clue.Reaching the airport, I'm stunned again about his private jet. Damn how did a girl like me get together with a r

    Kiara's POV:*****20 hours later*****Well, we did make up a little for the lost time fighting in the last two weeks during the flight. Luckily, there's a shower on the plane, by the amount of sex we had. It's not like we didn't sleep at all. We did, we slept, and then we started all over again. In between, we drank and ate, talked, and cuddled. But most of the time, we killed with amazing sex.Well, besides my limbs feeling a bit heavy, I'm for sure not going to complain about it. "I already like flying on holiday with you." I whisper while we leave the plain."You'll be getting plenty more of that during this holiday. You might beg for me to stop as I'm insatiable with you." Suddenly, I'm all too aware of his hand on the small of my back again and how near he is to me. I think I need some exorcism or something. I've become a sex monster. The warm breeze hits me. It's dark outside, definitely night. I still have no idea where we are. And as it's night and only a small airport, I can

    Dean's POV: Waking up with Kiara in the arm never fails to make my day feel great already. As it was 6am in this time zone, we we're both totally exhausted. Looking down at my sleeping angel puts a smile on my face. We're nearly in the same position, like when we fell asleep, only our legs are tangled up a little more.Gently, I stroke the hair strands covering her pretty face away. She doesn't need all this make up stuff to make her look pretty. She simply has this natural, amazing, beautiful face. And even if she was ugly as fuck, her soul is beautiful. I'm simply a lucky bastard who gets both in one girl. One thing's for sure, I'd literally do anything for her. Even if she doesn't get to feel it enough at the moment.Knowing if she doesn't wake up now, we'll be in bed for the rest of the day, I decide to gently kiss her awake, planting kisses on her forehead, cheeks, nose, shoulders, neck and a quick peck on her lips."Hmmmm, more." Her sweet, sleepy voice demands. Her wish is my

    ****12 years later****Dean's POV:"Dad, why the fuck am I not allowed to go to the party?" Phoebe whines and there's no doubt where she's got her language from."Because I said no. You're seventeen. You're not going to some party where the guys are just waiting to get you drunk and do things with you." "Damn dad, I'm seventeen and a half, so in half a year, I'm legal and can do whatever I want. Besides, you know exactly I can't do shit. You'll know exactly what I'm doing anyway.""Yes, the last time I had to see you kiss some guy as newest tweet from some stupid tabloid. And I'm sure not having that again." For years, I hated the media showing so much interest in our kids. Now, for the first time, I can see the perks of it as our kids can't do shit without us not knowing. Or them at least being afraid of getting caught."Damn, it was just a kiss. I didn't fuck him or anything. He didn't even touch me.""If he had, he'd be a dead man by now."

    **** 3,5 years later****Kiara's POV:From my shaded place at the pool, I take a glance over to my husband. The way his muscles flex along his broad worked out shoulders is ever so delicious. God, how can someone look so incredibly good and mouth-watering? He turns around, and his toned chest and abs are right on view for me. The way his wet shorts cling to his body showing every well-built leg muscle, too. It definitely has my heat rising.His hands run through his wet hair while he clears his throat once he's standing in front of me. Damn, the way the water is drizzling down every perfect shaped and toned muscle on his body. And those wet, full, soft lips which are now twisting into a crooked smirk."Honey, if you keep on looking at me like that, I'll never finish preparing for Wyatt's birthday party in two hours. Jeez, just the look on your face turns me on like hell.""It's not my fault you had to jump into the pool and look so incredible delicious," I defend myself."Sorry, I nee

    Kiara's POV: ****nearly 1,5 years later****My dreamy eyes linger on my two toddlers in front of the Christmas tree, while Dean is trying to convince them to play with the toys he so proudly chose but now aren't of interest to any of them. Instead, they are having hell of a fun playing with the wrapping paper. "Why the hell did I spend so much money on toys if all they want is some stupid wrapping paper?" Dean complains while walking up to me. Dean is such an adorable dad, and my heart swells every time I see my three loved ones playing together."I told you they don't need all of this fancy stuff and the amount of toys you bought. You went a little crazy again, didn't you?""I just want them to be happy and have everything they wish for." The expression on his face is a little sulky while looking across the floor to Phoebe and Leo. Phoebe, in the meantime, finds it awfully funny to put the sticky ends on to her brother and hiding his face under the wrapping paper."They're not even

  • Racing Desires   128. Fairytale

    Kiara's POV:Once I've made sure to show my appearance nearly everywhere once, I take my time to fully take in everything here. This place is a huge mansion, and the garden is amazing. I've never seen anything like it. It's like a huge sculptured park with all kinds of flowers everywhere. The air is filled with a sweet scent of the roses and lavender. I love lavender. There are secret hideouts, fountains, a lake, and huge old trees, giving this place a romantic look as if it were from another century. Nancy obviously went all out on the decorations, too. I can see fairy lights everywhere, which are probably meant to light up the garden in the evening. Flower bouquets are spread throughout the area, torches put up for the night, huge ribbons, and other kinds of decorations wherever you look. We're so lucky with the summer weather, making it perfect. It's warm, but the many old trees give us enough space for people being able to stand and sit in the shade.This looks like a fairy tale

    Kiara's POV:,"You're so god damn beautiful, Mrs Arlington." Dean whispers full of awe against my lips before drawing fully back. I love the way that sounds.People around us start laughing and cheering even more at Dean's eager kiss. Neither of us wanted to break out of it. He noticed right away when my legs had reached their limit, and now I'm in his amazing, strong arms. Arms, which make me feel treasured and protected in every single way.Sean was the only one who knew about me wanting to walk down the aisle. He rushes down the other end, where I have left my wheelchair behind, and he gets it for me. Tyler uses his chance to squeeze us first, and I literally mean squeeze because what he's doing right now isn't hugging. He's squeezing the living shit out of us."Air, Tyler. I need air." I manage to get out totally breathless while being squashed between Dean and him. "We're not a hamburger, and I'm not the piece of meat in between.""Oh, beautiful, but I wouldn't mind you being the

    Dean's POV:And then she appears with Sean at her side. My heart stops for a second, as I don't just see my absolutely stunning bride, but also see how she gets up out of her wheelchair. Oh my god, she starts walking towards me, secured by Sean's arm. Step by step, she comes closer.Everyone around us is gasping at her sight."Holy fuck!" Tyler exclaims.I feel the urge to rush up to her and carry her the rest of the way here. I can clearly see she is struggling, but also how determined she is to walk her way up to me. She must have trained more than I knew. I had no idea she was able to walk again at all. Tears start rolling down my cheeks at my incredible bride.She's so strong, and seeing her walk totally knocks the breath out of me. Besides, she is absolutely stunning. Beautiful, sexy all in all beyond imagination. The dress she is wearing is beautiful too. As soon as she's in front of me, I can't hold back and wrap my arms around her and cry. I don't care what the people think,

    Dean's POV:The last couple of hours have been torture. No scratch that ever since she left the house yesterday at lunchtime has been a torture. Damn, it's only been a little over 24 hours, and I'm missing her like hell. At least I had Phoebe and Leo during the daytime yesterday, while Gale took Kiara for a spa. But since Gale picked up my babies last night, I missed them all so incredible much.Tyler and Chris wanted to go for a strip club. No way was I up for that. I don't want to see any other woman naked in front of me, other than my own girl. To my surprise, Tyler even wasn't too pushy about it and quickly understood. Of course, he had a remark about it."Honestly, man, if I had Kiara at home, I wouldn't want to see any other chick naked again either. She's the jackpot, and no sexy stripper could keep up to that. Fuck, I'd never let her out of the bed again and fuck her until she couldn't walk and keep it going." Yes, he did get a smack for that from me.The thing with Tyler is,

    Kiara's POV:Only minutes later, I hear the knock at the door Nancy and Gale have arrived. Apparently, Nancy has already been to our location where we're marrying, making sure everything is being prepared as it should be. She scares the shit out of me when she yells through the phone because the wedding cake hasn't been delivered yet. And there was me thinking I could be a badass and impatient.Gale gives me a huge smile and hug. "How are you feeling, darling?""Excited and nervous," I lower my voice for only her to hear. "And a little scarred of Nancy, to be honest." Gale looks across to Nancy, who is still yelling orders through the phone and laughs."You should have heard her ramble away beforehand. She was beyond pissed because the table clothes apparently now are an off-white instead of an eggshell white like she had ordered. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference, but for her, it was a huge disaster, and she's saying the whole colour scheme has been messed up through it. She's
